Helical Pier installed in Limestone, TN
Challenge
Our team responded to a call from Ivan G., a homeowner living in Limestone, TN, concerned about some cracks around his windows corners. After being dispatched to his house and after an investigation, our home inspector explained to him that signs of settling, such as warping around windows, were evident. Poor soil compaction can lead to soil erosion and subsequent foundation settling.
Solution
After our home inspector confirmed soil erosion as the cause, we identified specific three points needing immediate support. Our crew dug three holes near the wall, exposing the cement footer. We then drilled helical piers beneath the foundation, securing them to the concrete thanks to a steel foundation bracket. This solution grips the soil, preventing further settling and often restoring the site to its original height. After filling the holes, the yard was restored with minimal disruption. With this system, Ivan can rest assured that his home is saved from further settling!
